so i was out for a drive today and was almost home when for seemingly no reason i started to hear this "ka-chunck" "ka-chunck" noise, over and over again, with a faint clicking noise at the same time,

i turned my radio down and after a few seconds realised that the ka-chunk noise was the cars central locking system trying to repeatedly un-lock all four doors (even tho they were already unlocked) and the clicking noise was the same noise you'd hear if my hazard lights were on (but were not actually flashing)

the car kept running fine the entire time and i was almost home so i pulled in my drive and turned the car off and removed the key from the ignition, and both noises continued!!!! i had to disconnect my battery to get it to stop, checked my fuse box and everything looks fine, reconnect the battery and it started doing both noises again!! disconnected the batt again and this time held the bakes on to drain any reserve power and it still did both noises when i reconnected the batt, for a third time i disconnected the batt and this time left it disconnected for about 10 min and now the noises have stopped upon reconnection

any ideas what was happening ??? as far as i know the cars entire electrical system is stock except for a cd player and speakers installed ages ago and its never done anything like this before

thanks for any ideas/help

any ideas anyone? could it have been a dodgy fuse? it was really dry that day so nothing would have been damp i dont think, but i had just gone over a series of jutter bars (fairly sowly) directly before the noises started, and then maybe i in-advertently fixed it when i checked the fuses if one had been just slightly poped up?

anyone think a fuse that was just slightly out of place could have caused my symptoms?

my first guess is a dodgy alarm install, ??? power locks arent wired up properly or loose in the door/kickpanel, stuck relay ?

doubt its a loose fuse unless someone has a fuse tap in the fuse box

hmm, dodgy alarm eh? very well could be, i never thought of that one, im pretty sure the alarm system has been on it for quite a few years, how would i diagnose it?

thanks alot for the idea!
